Two new fundraising programs hosted by Parkland School District Education Foundation

December 05, 2012

Parents and other community members will have the chance to support education through two fundraising programs hosted by the Parkland School District Education Foundation,.

The first program will give parents and residents the opportunity to make a tax deductible donation in a teacher or any other staff member's name as a gift. A student-designed holiday card that can be personalized by the giver will be included in the donation. Online donations can be made at http://www.parklandsd.org/foundation or by mail to Parkland School District Education Foundation, 1210 Springhouse Rd., Allentown, PA 18104.

The second program includes the purchase of a Community Discount Card, made possible by donations by the local businesses listed on the card. To order forms, visit http://www.parklandsd.org/foundation/discount_card.htm.

All proceeds will support the "Celebrate Innovation" grant program, which will allow Parkland staff to apply for grants to improve education and the community.

The Foundation was launched last year by the school district as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization whose sole purpose is to raise money in support of academics, arts and athletics in the school district, to preserve a tradition of excellence and help students to pursue their dreams.
